Open-faced cake

Description

Delicious dessert for the whole family. Condensed cream is used to achieve the proper consistency of this cake. I prepare this cake with "Cointreau" liqueur, which has a very strong and pleasant orange flavor. However, it can also be made without it. Chocolate can be substituted with "Nutella" or any other chocolate spread.
